BROKEN DOOR

Extremely obscure German 5-piece Prosper issued one long player, the curiously and aptly titled Broken Door, in 1975. Reissued in 2003 by Garden of Delights, the best tunes on the album use fusion licks surrounded by Kraut sensibilities. The record almost exists out of time, as if all labels and sounds used for classification don't apply. Songs are guitar-based, brooding, mysterious rock and roll, then in the middle you get the countryfied your country as if someone threw it in there just to have enough songs for completion. Vocals are very effective and mellotron is prominent.

King Crimson fans should find a lot to like here.
